What is The Healing Center?

The Healing Center is a grief support community that offers support groups for those that have lost a loved one. We provide a space for grieving people to meet with others who have experienced loss. The Healing Center offers grief support groups that meet twice a month. We place you into a specific group based on your age or relationship to the person you lost. We also offer occasional social events for clients.

How do I start attending group at The Healing Center?

We require an initial intake in order to attend group. Intakes typically take 45 minutes and take place at our office. The intake is an opportunity for learn more about you and your story, as well as for you to learn more about the center.

Group Rate Questions

How much does group cost?

Monthly Rate: $60 per monthDrop In Rate: $40 per sessionReduced rates and scholarships available, we do not turn anyone away for inability to pay.

I can’t afford to pay for group, can I sill come?

The Healing Center will always welcome anyone, regardless of your ability to pay. If you are not able to afford to pay for group, we are able to offer a reduced rate or scholarship. See the reduced rate/scholarship section below for more information.

What is the difference between monthly subscription and drop-in rate?

A monthly subscription is a flat rate that would automatically be charged to your credit card every month. This allows you and any member of your household to attend as many sessions of your group(s) a month as you like for one flat rate.

The Drop-in cost is a one-time payment, each time you attend your group, that would be processed after a group is attended. You will receive an email with directions on how to pay for your session after each group you attend. You only pay this rate if you do not have a monthly subscription.

Do you have a student rate?

We don’t currently offer a student rate. However, we know young adults and students are just starting out and we won’t turn anyone away if they cannot afford the group rate. We have many young adults on reduced rate or scholarship.

Do I have to pay for a separate subscription for each of my family members?

No. One subscription will cover all the group sessions for you and all members of your household. For example, if you and your children all attend several different groups, a monthly subscription at $60 would cover the cost of everyone’s sessions, as long as you live in the same household.
